Recently, I've encountered talk pages that feature the green-Wikipedia style "VfD" talk page template: {{Tcresult}}. I was going to take this straight to a TC, but it would be pointless, due to the amount of talk pages that have this template. My proposal is to replace this template with the current, more modern {{Ahm}} template, which features TC article milestone options. The result would be having only one article milestone template, instead of choosing between either one. Recently, administrators have added more TC options to complement the TC results. Hell, even the main TC page supports the use of the Ahm template.

Ugliness, and unorganization, is showing in various older talk pages, even new (Ranging from 2006 to 2010). Some talk pages have multiple Tcresults.

I'm sure we could merge older TC results with the newer article milestone template to produce article status quality results and TC results (all in the same template). Here's a talk page that could feature that: Talk:Onara Kuat.

Replacing the existing Tcresult template with the new Ahm template in these talk pages might be tricky. Depending on the amount of article revisions it has, we have to dig for the {{TC}} template in the article.

I've been using the milestones system already myself. I actually thought that {{Tcresult}} had been officially deprecated long before I became an admin, and that the only reason it still existed was because no one had bothered to go through and replace all uses of it yet. So I say go for it. —MJ—Jedi Council Chambers 17:57, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

I've began to replace the existing Tcresult templates with the Ahm template. If anyone wants to help, please feel free. I'll try to finish by next week and hopefully begin a TC. JangFett(Talk) 20:15, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
